President Joe Biden late Wednesday brushed off the House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry, saying the way he sees it, they launched the investigation against him because they want to shut down the federal government.
Biden, speaking at a Democratic fundraiser in Virginia, said that instead of being concerned about the probe, “I’m focused on the things the American people want me focused on.”
The president’s remarks were the first since Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the launch of a Biden impeachment inquiry while the Republican House leader is also struggling to shore up votes to fund the government and prevent a federal shutdown.
There’s a strange mentality so many people in the states still have, which is that they *want the US government to barely exist or collapse entirely. *
It’s fucking insanity to me, because even if you live in the middle of nowhere your quality of life depends on having a functional government. These idiots think they’re “self sufficient” enough to not need one, which I guess just shows how insulated they are more than anything.
They’re stupid people who were tricked by capitalist propaganda.
They think they don’t rely on government at all, so government is not needed.
If you wake up in the morning and your house isn’t burned around you or collapsed on top of you, you have relied on government.
You getting in your car and driving to work? There’s like 400 pages of regulations on the reflectivity of blinker lights. There’s a small group of people somewhere in the federal government who’s entire job is to make sure your car’s reflectors are reflective enough, and they aren’t bureaucrats. They are scientists.
I don’t mean to suggest the world would collapse without those people, but that shit starts to add up. Remember during the last government shutdown, they were like hours away from airports closing? And that’s what finally broke the shut down. All those weather systems that control all air traffic, that’s all federal government. The major weather systems at every airport in the country are serviced and maintained by the federal government, and they are non-essential workers.
Oh you hate big government, really? How do you like going to the gas station and paying for 10 gallons will only getting six? That’s what used to happen before we had agencies of weights and measures auditing gas stations. The lizard brains don’t realize that they are benefiting from that every day.
Now Republicans are trying to shut down the government again. I wish they would.
The government supports capitalism. I think a better term would be greed propaganda.
They don’t actually want this. Ask them, who’s going to ban the trans people if the government is shut down? Suddenly they’ll realize their fascism is far more important, they are the opposite from anti government.
They are. They want to remove any protections of minority groups. Back to the good ol’ lynching days.
